Dude was great in Reservoir Dogs. Hasn't aged a bit.

Was a good bodybuilder and powerlifter. It disheartens me to see him training clients with kettle bells and other douchey methods.

Yes, I forgot he was a powerlifter. I remember he used to lift some big weight. Well, he claimed to anyway!!

Saw him lift back in the day and he was really strong. Serious presser.

Because their not effective?

No, I'm alleging that if someone was to take massive amount of peds and then stop, that could cause said person to shrink up like a raisin.

Looks like a fat Hobbit, i.e., a Blobbit.

Benched over 600 as a teen didn't he?
-

At least he's still alive :-D
-

Yes! Flex magazine always reports the most accurate infirmation!!
-

He's only 50 yrs old.

Best Meet Bench was #610 at #220, and he would routinely work up into the mid #5's.
Here's a meet pic with a good amount on it -

But he's a former IFBB pro. 50 is the new 100 when you're a bodybuilder.

610 at 220 is a phenomenal competition bench everywhere except Getbig

This, maybe?
-
This, maybe?
kudos. although, the alex24 post above yours is pretty darn good.
-
Eddie is a great guy! Worked out with him a few times back in the early 90s.
For sure the strongest guy ive ever met. Nothing bad to say about him .
One of the all time greats of bodybuilding
-
The Coach' big brother..
-
Saw Eddie win the teenage Florida, then The Florida the next year. He was a freak, great arms and legs strong as hell.
-
Still looks pretty young.
Arnold said he had implants in his arms
-
He made it out alive and appears to to be enjoying a post BB life. That is more than a lot of competitors can say. How is he doing financially? He was on a lot of magazine covers; did he get commensurate coin to go with it? Bah!
-
Eddie is healthy, lives life well. Looks good. See him around and has always been friendly.
-

Not just overalls, but jorts overalls.
-

;D
-
I think he resembled mel Gibson when he was young.
-
:)
-
His USA posing routine was pretty good. Cory Everson was commentator, and it sounded like she wanted to rush the stage.
-

He didn't do Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino did.
-
One of my favorites from the early 90s.

Just a note because the numbers seemed off. Eddie embellished a bit, here's the story on the #610 bench -
"Question - A lot of people don't know this, but you had a famous benchpress showdown with pro bodybuilder Eddie Robinson. The contest ended with some controversial happenings and there were some circumstances surrounding the event that were upsetting to you. Please tell the complete story for our readers as I'm sure powerlifters and bodybuilders alike will want to hear this.
Joe Ladnier - Rick & Debbie Poston, 1983 AAU Mr. & Mrs. America, owned Athletes Fitness Center in Tampa, Florida. They would hold the Florida Bench Press Championships each year back in the early 80's in the parking lot of their gym. The first year Eddie and I competed against each other, I think we were around 19 or 20 years old. I hit my first 600lb bench and he did like a 585. Rick used this as a marketing tool for publicity for his gym. World Champion Powerlifter against World Champion Bodybuilder. The next year I had just had reconstructive knee surgery and had not trained in a couple of months. Dick Armatrout, the owner of SunCoast (Powerlifting) Gym asked me to compete in the bench meet for just team points. I weighed in really light around 218lbs. Eddie was off season and was weighing around 243 from what Rick told me. I came in and benched around 525, while Eddie did a touch and go with 605 or 610. ".
So, off a little, but still big numbers.

Most ppl here don't lift so they might not know how impressive that is 610 at 220lbs is. It looks like a raw lift which makes it even more impressive.

Hi Eddie
;)

Remember, covers then & now pay nothing. Zero. Perhaps you get to keep the clothes they gave you for the photo shoot. The only money would come from other BB related activities you were able to generate from the publicity. Guest posing, possible sponsorship from sup companies, etc.
The only person that gets paid from a cover is the photographer that submitted the picture to the publisher.

He was with the WBF. So he made quite a bit, reportedly $200,000/year. Plus, McMahon kept him an extra 2 years to endorse ICOPRO supplements.
So, if he saved and invested wisely, he should be in great shape.

Hi Eddie
;)
By Getbig standard, these are fake weights and the claim is all wrong....
-
Roids are a hella of a drug.
if that's the case, then Every Douchebag in the local Gold's Gym, loaded on Gears should be able to Press 600lbs on the fly

Plus, we know what Eddie's appearance is, when he has to forgo the anabolics (for a while, at least).
He competed in two drug-tested shows: 1990 Mr. Olympia and the 1992 WBF Championship.
Smaller and baby-smooth, but still a big man.
He didn't shrink nearly as much as Mike Christian did. Does this feed the notion that powerlifter-type bodybuilders don't shrink as much when they forgo anabolics, because of their strength and power base?

Here's an impressive picture taken from an older Darden book of Eddie's upper arm -

Insane bicep/tricep/forearm development.

3 pages on Eddie and not surprisingly, not a single mention of Eddie being "Oilbased". A one time source who turned scammer LONG before these boards had open "source checks" or source discussion, which allowed him to keep on scamming people for many, many months.
this was back in he "list me" email day's. before sources had websites, and you had to wait at least 3-4 weeks for your gear.
